Hi there folks,

Does anyone out there have anything specific to say abt the Dunlop D40 M2
and SP8000 in particular? I remember quite a few of us netters singing
praises for the D40 M2s. However, some guy in Auto Options Saloon in CA
recommends the SP8000 for the Miata.

I am particularly interested abt their wet/dry characteristics. I have
got Blizzarks for the snowy sessions. I don't autocross, so I need a 
good set of commuting tires that allow me to play around when I need to.
My experience with the SF325s hasn't been too good. I don't like to go
spinning around hard corners. I always felt that it is the hard corners that 
the Miata outshines all the competition.

BTW, I just noticed that my family doc has a blue miata. On closer 
inspection, I noticed that his was imported from Japan... a eunos roadster.
So apart from the different labels, what's its mech. difference?

thanks,
